Titans WR Julio Jones (hamstring) out Sunday vs. Colts

The 5-2 Tennessee Titans will be without a significant offensive weapon for Sunday's game at the 3-4 Indianapolis Colts. 

Per Turron Davenport of ESPN, the Titans have officially ruled star wide receiver Julio Jones out for Sunday's matchup because of a hamstring injury. Jones initially suffered the injury last month and then reaggravated it in the "Monday Night Football" win over the Buffalo Bills back on Oct. 18, but he nevertheless took the field for last Sunday's victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. 

Jones caught two passes for 38 yards in that blowout win. According to ESPN stats, he is fourth on the Titans with 17 receptions but second with 301 receiving yards on the campaign. 

Davenport adds that second-year pro Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is expected to get the start in Jones' absence and could see an uptick in targets. Thus far, Westbrook-Ikhine has 12 catches for 125 yards and a touchdown this season. 

The Titans are looking for the season sweep, as they defeated the Colts 25-16 back in Week 3. Indianapolis has since won three of its last four contests.
